Intro

I am on a mission to help you feel happy and confident in your skin. With an inside out and outside in approach, you'll achieve results you love, AND improve your health and well being.

I am a Skin & Scar Specialist with a passion for treatments that really get your skin to work it’s magic, and give you results you’ll love!

Best known for being obsessed with skin concerns, skin rejuvenation, scar improvement, and my work with breast cancer patients. I have an ‘inside out and outside in’ philosophy, thanks to a background in nutritional therapy, which means you can be confident you’ll get the best possible results both now, and in the long term.

How I ended up as a Skin & Scar Specialist

In this video, I share a little of my own emotional story, that led me to having a passion for skin and scar treatments. Having suffered personal trauma and multiple scars, I know first hand the impact that scars can have on your confidence, and how it can affect the decisions you make, from the clothing you wear, to socialising, dating and career confidence.

My skin hit an all time low during my early 30’s, at the height of my corporate career. Stress, lack of sleep, and lifestyle all saw me age quickly, and further knocked my confidence. My skin felt completely out of my control, and I was desperate to see changes (quickly!). I wasted so much money on products and treatments that didn’t work – and often made my skin worse. When I set up my aesthetics practice, I knew I was destined to help other women feel happier and confident in their skin, through knowledge sharing and focused treatment plans.

My life before jumping ship to help you look and feel amazing!

Would you believe that my background is in Law! I graduated in 2000 and spent many years climbing the corporate ladder of Legal Management. I spent over a decade in the personal injury and medical negligence field, before becoming Head of Corporate Contracts for one of the top mobile telecoms operators. I made a decision to leave that life behind at the start of 2012, as working 12hr days in a job that left me feeling entirely unfulfilled was far from my idea of ‘living the dream’!

I love to learn, so I qualified as a Nutritional Therapist, Personal Trainer to GP referral level, Beauty Therapist and Makeup Artist during my years in corporate – in addition to many other creative workshops! I really enjoy being creative, but I quickly became aware that I got the greatest joy from the ability to really make a difference to how people feel about themselves. That was just the beginning, read on to find out more.

How the story unfolds

I entered the world of Aesthetics world in early 2016, when a friend of mine suggested I became a medical tattooist, following her own breast cancer journey. In truth, I didn’t even know such a thing existed, but the seed was planted and the rest, as they say, is history. It’s led me to discovering my purpose and become obsessed with all things skin rejuvenation related. I left behind a legal corporate career, spanning almost 15 years. Over a decade of which was managing medical negligence and personal injury teams in private practice. I still flex my legal skills as a qualified Expert Witness for litigation matters, specialising in treatments for scars and medical tattooing procedures. My parents are no doubt pleased that my law degree didn’t go to waste!

Having sustained many injuries and undergone multiple surgeries, I have what can only be described as an ‘obsession’ with scar improvement work. I know first-hand how debilitating living with significant scarring can be, and how much it can affect your life and confidence. I also have an innate desire to ensure that you complete your treatment program feeling confident and comfortable in your own skin.

Passionate about treating you from the ‘inside out and outside in’. Bringing my nutritional therapy experience into my practice, and work with you to make lifestyle and nutrition changes that will make your results even more amazing – plus you’ll feel great too!

Am I the right person to help you?

If you’ve read this far, then hopefully – YES! I I would absolutely love to help with you with your transformation, whether that is with anti aging skin treatments, or for medical tattooing and scar treatments.

I have trained (see geek list of qualifications below) to the highest levels, and with the best UK and international trainers. This means that you can be confident that you’ll get results I know you you’ll love, in a safe and friendly environment.

You’ll find lots of free advice and tips in my blog articles, and there are video’s and LIVE’s on social media too, I do hope you find them helpful.

Please get in touch if you’d like to discuss how we can work together.

Time to share!

If you’re trusting me with your treatments, then I feel like it’s only fair that you get to know me a little better. Here’s 5 things that might help.

1) I have a cat called Charlie, who’s (at the time of writing) is nearly 17 years old. He’s diabetic, I’m a master at injecting him without him knowing!

2) I have two nieces that I adore, I get to have all the fun and none of the responsibility. They are magical.

3) I am really creative and most likely to be found silversmithing, making clothes or doodling nipples on things (practice makes perfect!)

4) I have a genuine phobia of banana’s. Although I used NLP techniques so I could make the obligatory Lockdown banana bread.

5) I’m obsessed with my rebounder trampoline, I still can’t believe you can be exercising and have that much fun at one time. If you’re another 80’s music fan, then lets talk top hits!

The not so exciting (but important) bit - my list of qualifications

I know this doesn’t make for an exciting read, but it’s important for you to know you’re in well educated, well trained and safe hands! It is really important to me to train to the highest standard and level possible. I am committed to continuing to grow my depth of knowledge and skills within the industry. This means I am always able to provide you with the best possible treatments.

I have trained with the leading trainers in the Medical and Cosmetic field – Finishing Touches and Dermace. I have also had the privilege of attending advanced Masterclass training with Matt Iulo. Matt is one of the leading international trainers and pioneers in scalp micropigmentation – an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience.

I have trained with Lynton Aesthetics for my laser, IPL, Fractional, Microneedling, RF Microneedling and HIFU treatments, and they are the leaders in laser equipment on the market today. I have their incredible 3Juve laser system, which has IPL, fractional and radio frequency lasers. The reason I invested with, and trust Lynton implicitly, is down to their exceptional safetey standards, training and results.

From the moment I started my training, I knew this was what I was meant to do. This rapidly-advancing industry is at the forefront of non-surgical treatments that have the ability to not just make a physical difference, but also make an incredibly powerful emotional and psychological difference too. I have treated many patients who have been through life-changing events, which have left them lacking in confidence. The most rewarding thing about my work is seeing their confidence blossom from treatment to treatment. That is priceless!
